Should I feed or not? (Shedding)

kaydee Nov 30, 2006 12:25 PM

Hello. My BCI was due a feed today, however he is very blue. Should I go ahead and try him or should I just wait untill he sheds? He was fed last exactly a week ago on two rat pinks.

This picture was from last weeks feeding:

He will be fine if you wait till after he sheds. Also, it might just be the angle of the photo, but judging form his size, ONE rat pink a feeding would do him just fine.
Just an opinion.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll wait untill after the shed. I think the angle has alot to play in that. However I will try one next time, see how it goes. He has munched down two, two weeks in a row with no worries for me, before that since he was born, he was eating just the one per week.
